Qualia Contemporary Art is pleased to present Wandering in the City, Waking from a Dream, an exhibition of works by Chinese artist WEN Zhongyan. The artist’s first solo exhibition in North America will feature a series of seven works on paper and two paintings that depict the city of Beijing through what was lost, what remains, and what has changed. WEN combines multiple layers of imagery in an intuitive screen printing process that evokes a feeling of nostalgia but also embracing the city that was and is – on a personal level to the artist, and on a collective cultural scale as well. Wandering in the City, Waking from a Dream is open to the public from September 13 – October 20, 2023, with an opening celebration hosted on September 16th from 4:30-6:30 PM PST.
